Pure BS

There's a campfire burnin’ on the Mississippi River bank
My old pickup speakers are crankin’ out a lot of Hank
That's the sheriff's daughter dancin’ on my hood
With an empty bottle this can't be good

There's an unwritten law in this sleepy little town
There ain’t no drinkin’ on the river when the sun goes down
Think I see the blue lights comin’ through the woods
It’s the sheriff and his posse, this can't be good

Everybody is runnin’ like the end of the world is comin’
With a Buford T. kind of lawman closin’ in
She just keeps on rockin’, guess I better do some talkin’
She's too dumb to run, I’m too drunk to swim
This can't be good, this can't be good, this can't be good

Aww, stay tuned

This ol' haybarn's full of last year’s grass
I got a whole tin can full of campfire gas
There’s a little bitty flame on this piece of firewood
And when it all comes together it can't be good

Everybody is runnin’ like the end of the world was comin’
With a wildfire burnin’ like a freight train outta control
She just keeps on rockin’, babe, there ain’t no time for talkin’
Throw her over my shoulder, run with everything I can
Hold on, babe, looks like were jumpin’ in

Now you know, when we get to the other side
We’re going to have to take all these wet clothes off
And hang out awhile
You know, this could be good

Yeah!

Girl, when I look at you
You look through me like I'm not even there
I’m tryin’ not to give up, to be strong but
I'm afraid to say I'm scared
I can't find the place your heart is hidin’
I'm no quitter but I'm tired of fightin’

Baby, I love you
Don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go
Took such a long time
For me to find you
Don't make me let you go
Baby, I'm begging, please
And I'm down here on my knees
I don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me

What if when I'm long gone
It dawns on you you just might want me back
Let me make myself clear, if I leave here
It's done; I'm gone, that's that
You carry my love around like it's a heavy burden
Well, I'm about to take it back
Are you sure it's worth it

Baby, I love you
Don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go
Took such a long time
For me to find you
Don't make me let you go
Baby, I'm begging, please
And I'm down here on my knees
I don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me
Don't make me

(Don't make me)

Baby, I'm begging, please
And I'm down here on my knees
I don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me

(Baby, I love you
Don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go)

Don't make me
Stop loving you

(Don't make me)

Stop needing you

He was sittin’ at the bar, sippin’ on a regular Coke
We were drinkin’ and smokin’ and makin’ him the butt of our jokes
We all said, "Man, what happened to you? Why can't you just have a few?"
He said, "I would if I could, but it's probably best that I don't"

‘Cause the more I drink, the more I drink
Yeah, I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin’ machine
I get loud, I get proud, and it gets worse
Well, if I have one, I'll have thirteen
Now there ain’t no in-between
‘Cause the more I drink, the more I drink

A couple of cold ones, and somebody hands me a shot
Hell, even buck-tooth and bow-legged women start lookin’ hot
And pretty soon I'm bummin’ cigarettes and sweet talkin’ some big brunette
Yeah, once I get on a roll, there aren’t no tellin’ where I'll stop

'Cause the more I drink, the more I drink
Yeah, I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin’ machine
I get loud, I get proud, and it gets worse
Yeah, if I have one, I'll have thirteen
Now there ain’t no in-between
Cause the more I drink, the more I drink

Yep, yep
Hmm, that’s what I'm talking about

Man, if I have one, I'll have thirteen
And they can't get me off the karaoke machine
The more I drink, the more I drink
Yeah, the more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink

There she was
Laughing, talking, window shopping with a new guy
And I'd heard about him
I heard she found him right around when we said goodbye

And I came real close and almost lost my temper
But I bit my tongue, kept my cool, cause I remembered

I don't care
She don't matter
I don't love her anymore, he can have her
I don't know why it slips my mind
I tell myself all the time
Guess I forgot again for a second there
That I don't care

Almost ten
I should've known his car would still be parked in her drive
Almost pulled in
Knocked on her door and gave her a piece of my mind

Oh, but I just kept on driving back to my place
Wondering why I went so far out of my way when

I don't care
She don't matter
I don't love her anymore, he can have her
I don't know why it slips my mind
I tell myself all the time
Guess I forgot again for a second there
That I don't care

When I got home, the light was blinking on that old machine
She said, "My brother's been in town, but he just left
And I miss you, give me a ring"

I still care
She's all that matters
I still love her just like always, gotta have her
I never got her off my mind, been hoping she would call sometime
I know it's late to be driving over there, but I don't care
I don't care

You know if I'd seen her comin’
I’d've probably tried to hide
But I came around the corner
And she caught me by surprise
There was no ice cold shoulder
There was no ugly scene
She just smiled and didn't say
The things I thought she'd say to me

Well, it was nothing like that rainy night
She left and slammed the door
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore

Yeah, I felt like some old neighbor
Just some guy she once knew
You'd never know she loved me
And I broke her heart in two
Was she hiding her emotions
Or did she really get that strong
Right then she turned and
Introduced me to her new friend John

I could tell the way he shook my hand
He'd never heard of me before
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore

There was no ice cold shoulder
There was no ugly scene
She just smiled and didn't say
The things I just knew she'd say to me

Guess she got so caught up in him
My memory's gone ignored
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore

Now I know it might sound crazy
But I don't know what hurts me more
Is it the fact that she don't love me
Or she don’t hate me anymore
Not only she don’t love me
She don’t hate me anymore

This old Buick's like the needle on a compass
Pointed due west
I remember her smile like June sunflowers
And the look of her body as she slipped out of that dress
God, I'm such a mess

Never a morning person, but that girl's still in bed
The sheets are tangled, the alarm is jangling
The last dream from her pretty head
I told her I was leaving
She didn't believe the words I said

I ain't ever goin’
I ain't ever goin’
I ain't ever goin’
Back there again

She'll put on her makeup and drink from her tea cup
Glance at that silver frame
See I took our picture and then it'll hit her
She'll cry out with pain
Maybe whisper my name

I ain't ever goin’
I ain't ever goin’
I ain't ever goin’
Back there again

No one's goin’ to make me
Nothing's goin’ to take me
I ain't ever goin’
Back there again

Now, don't blame her, mama, for making me promise
Don't come around here no more
She said, "Maybe your life's gone to hell
But that's a tour of duty she didn't sign up for"

When you can't save yourself, you save somebody else
Maybe that's how you survive
I'm running away so she don't have to see
A life in slow-motion suicide
You throw in the towel, they call you a coward
Tell you, Fight, don't cut and run
Well, I ain’t no hero, but the truth is I know
It's the bravest thing I've ever done
The hardest part is knowin’ what we could have
And should have become

I ain't ever goin’
I ain't ever goin’
I ain't ever goin’

No one's goin’ to make me
Nothing's goin’ to take me
I ain't ever goin’
Goin’
To break her heart again

There ought to be a town somewhere
Named for how I feel
Yeah, I could be the mayor down there
And say welcome to Sorryville
It wouldn't be on a map nowhere
You might say that it don't exist
But if you make enough wrong turns
It'd be hard to miss

There ought to be a bridge somewhere
They could dedicate to me
I'd probably come through the ceremony
With a can of gasoline
And walk on over to the other side
And there I'd light a match
And sit and stare through the smoke and flames
Wondering how I'm going to get back

Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way? Am I a self-made fool?
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
I need your love but I break your heart
And I know the words that'll bring you back
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy bein’ me

There ought to be a side show act for freaks like me
Yeah, I could be the star of the show
With my name on the marquee
In a room with a big red button that says "Danger: Do Not Touch"
And twice a day I'd mash it down
And you could watch me self-destruct

Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way? Am I a self-made fool?
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
I need your love but I break your heart
And I know the words that'll bring you back
But I don't say nothin' as I watch you pack
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy bein' me
It ain't easy bein’ me

Leave the radio on just to hear a voice other than mine
Cause I can't bear to hear the cold truth runnin’ through my mind
Cause everything I did wrong just keeps haunting me, it won't let me be
Lyin’ here without you
Girl, I’m starting to see why you gave up on me

What I wouldn't give just to go back when you were in my life
I'd do it right this time
What I didn't do is give my whole heart to you
And that's why you're gone
I know I was wrong and I'll never hold you again
Cause of what I wouldn't give

It kills me to think how much you tried to make things work
I wouldn't listen to you, all I would do is put myself first
I took you for granted and I pushed you away a little more each day
Somewhere inside this hell I have seen my mistakes
Oh, but now it's too late

What I wouldn't give just to go back when you were in life
I'd do it right this time
What I didn't do is give my whole heart to you
And that's why you're gone
I know I was wrong and I'll never hold you again
Cause of what I wouldn't give

What I didn't do is give my whole heart to you
And that's why you're gone
I know I was wrong and I'll never hold you again
Cause of what I wouldn't give
Because of what I wouldn't give

You told me I'd regret it on the day I left you
I had the nerve to laugh as I walked away
Well, it’s been six months and eighteen days
Feeling nothin’ but this empty pain

And I just had to tell you
Even if there's nothing
Left to say

I felt the burning on the hurtin’ side
Of a love that didn't work out right
The empty longing of a long cold night
I have been lonely

I've leaned on no one when the times got tough
When it comes to heartaches, Lord, I've had enough
Know what it's like to live without your love
I have been lonely

I was going to show you that I didn't need you
Now I need to show you I was wrong
Here I am knees to the floor, I don't want to hurt like this no more
I'm heartbeat in misery, now all my pride is gone

I felt the burning on the hurtin’ side
Of a love that didn't work out right
The empty longing of a long cold night
I have been lonely

I've leaned on no one when the times got tough
When it comes to heartaches, Lord, I've had enough
Know what it's like to live without your love
I have been lonely

I have been lonely
I have been lonely

He meets her at the front door, he can tell she's had a hard day at work
She's been needin’ him and he's sure been wantin’ her
He touches her with tenderness, takes her in his arms, and takes it slow
What a shame she can't get that at home

What a shame she can't get that at home
There's nothing back there but a lonely house
And love ain’t all about wood and stone
He satisfies all her needs and wants
What a shame she can't get that at home

After the lovin’, they lie there and talk for a while
She loves how he listens, and he sure loves to see her smile
He wants to keep her but he loves her enough to let her go
What a shame she can't get that at home

What a shame she can't get that at home
There's nothing back there but a lonely house
And love ain’t all about wood and stone
He satisfies all her needs and wants
What a shame she can't get that at home

He satisfies all her needs and wants
What a shame she can't get that at home

There's a roadhouse just outside of town on a two-lane blacktop
Where all the folks come to hear country music play
And every year the city's getting closer, Lord knows it won't stop
And old Hank the bartender gave us the bad news today
Yeah, he said

This land was our land, but Lord, now it's their land
And we're still here, but not for long
So let's raise a cold one and play all the old ones
Til we've sung the last country song

There's 300 acres of cotton, corn and a little bit of gravel
All bought up by a builder from downtown
Tomorrow when the earth starts a-shakin’ and the walls start to rattle
A big bulldozer's going to take Hank's roadhouse down
So everybody sing

This land was our land, but Lord, now it's their land
And we're still here, but not for long
So let's raise a cold one and play all the old ones
Til we've sung the last country song

Will we play "Swinging'" or "He Stopped Loving Her Today"
It's really sad to see it end this way

This land was our land, but Lord, now it's their land
And we're still here, but not for long
So let's raise a cold one and play all the old ones
Til we've sung the last country song

Til we've sung the last country song
Oh, we've sung the last country song
Oh, we've sung the last country song
